Abstract
- The article examines the interwar child psychiatry at Maudsley Hospital in London, England. In this paper, the expansion of the hospital's children's department is explored, in relation to novel behaviourist hypotheses and forging of formal links with local government and charitable bodies. It is noted that this development would structure the theoretical origins of child psychiatry.
